Flower crown, again

There is nothing quite as bohemian, graceful, beautiful and stately as a flower crown. These shots were taken in 5 mins as the daylight gave way to a most stunning sky, quickly to turn grey and dark. Flowers were repurposed from a birthday bouquet, I am very thrifty that way!

I'm extremely excited to share this post with you guys, because of the nifty DIY brooches that it sports! I absolutely enjoyed making these glittery felt brooches, and have made tons of them mimicking different quirky things that speak to me!
I plan to pin them on all kinds of clothes, to give them that instant pop uplift!
Anyhoo, outfit details are as follows:

*Denim Jacket-ONLY

*Black stretchy pants- Ginger, I think?

*Shoes (That are undone)- Mochi

*Pop pin-ups, Choker-DIY

Making things gives me immense joy. So does sleeping, sewing, singing, and sipping a quiet cup of tea. And that's just the 's' list.
So here's the battle of my life right now. Making time for these things that give me joy, while turning my head away from numerous kinds of LCD screens that clamor for my attention. I think I'm winning. Putting the phone in another room, face-down, under a large pile of laundry helps. 

You should try it too!

PS: Leave me a comment if you like the look. It makes my day!

Love, 

Shubhi.

Flower Crown DIY

Flower Crowns are one accessory that I have a dreamlike fascination for, and if you have it too, I strongly suggest you make your own. The basic method is the same, which I learnt from this super awesome tutorial by the pretty Rachel, given below. You can customise, add leaves, various flowers, etc. I've gone for a very simple, almost gajra-like look for mine, and I did a  fancy one a couple of months back here.

If you are already excited to make your own crown, check out Rachel's Video!

                         

 

Sorry for the lack of posts, dear readers! I am now, sadly, a very very busy girl ! I moved to college a week back, and haven't even been able to check my blog or my emails! On the upside, I know  a tonne of interesting people now, and I can't wait  to collaborate with them for my blog <3

Speaking of being busy and getting stressed out, I had an opportunity to get a very relaxing massage at the Four Fountains Spa last week. It got me fresh and recharged for my busy life ahead!

 My net connectivity issues will be resolved soon, but I miss blogging and reading other blogs now! Till then, adios, cheers, and see you next week!

A couple of posts back I promised I would not do the nice top - black skinnies routine on the blog. Its all about stretching myself out here, right? So, engaging some radical (and crazy) thinking, I paired a striped top with patiala salwar pants. It creates an interesting silhouette!

Being an Indian, my outfits can foray into previously unexplored territories. If you ever travel through an Indian market-place, there is so much fashion inspiration to be drawn! Laces, Beaded Patchwork, Embellishments, Strings of beads, and a tonne of other things are readily available, to use in traditional Indian Wear!

My earrings in this post are actually the baubles Indian women attach to the ends of Saree-blouse -strings or duppattas.

Outfit Details:
Peplum Striped Top-Forever21
Pants- Local Botique
Earrings- Off the Street
Cuff-Sister's
Bag-Nine West

So, to all my Indian readers, Happy Exploration and Mixing!

I'm linking this post to IFB, its so amazing that they are having a stripes-linkup!

I like graphic clothes, in small doses. Though I wouldn't dream of combining two graphic prints together, as many of my fellow bloggers pull off beautifully. Some things are just not in ones' destiny, and pulling off clashing prints is certainly not in mine.

This is an easy DIY I made a while ago. Purchased some paper and fabric flowers and stuck them on to a cloth band with fabric glue! You can substitute smaller flowers on a black elastic band, for a cute statement hairband.

Flower Crown

I mentioned in passing, in my previous post, my obsession with flower crowns. So here is the first flower crown I am debuting on my blog! It is a DIY, made entirely from old waste paper flowers, and a wire. I found this amazing DIY video here, and I used roughly the same instructions!

A few days back I received some pleasant news. It entails that I get to graduate in the field I love, the field I have chosen and dreamed about  ever since I started my blog. So here's to more creativity, more happiness and more fulfillment.

This life is the most beautiful thing that can ever happen to you. Never give up on your dreams, the sole purpose of this life is to follow them.

Paper Boat Head-band -DIY
Tee-Splash(Front at the Back)
Skirt-Old
Necklace-Travels

This is definitely one of the most theatrical outfits I've worn on the blog. The headband is a DIY, I love it. And I really like the idea of wearing the tee back to front, so that the deep V part of the neckline is at the back..It basically gives you two different tees at the same time! Hope everyone is having a lovely weekend...

Love,
